Aussie Rules Training

2 of the best teams went at it on the weekend in Geelong and North Melbourne and after the first half, it looked like the Roos were in all sorts before a remarkable 3rd quarter got them the lead and they held on. Both teams get everything started from their respective midfield’s but the Ruck...

These are my 6 left over game analysis clips from AFLW round 2. There’s a switch of play from Adelaide, poor midfield-forward connection from the Bulldogs, 2 North Melbourne center bounce masterpieces, Carlton’s inability to create and use an outnumber advantage and Collingwood failing to play at the right tempo at the right time and...

Today’s pattern of play from my game analysis looks at defending out of bounds on the full free kicks against our team, deep in our own forward 50. There’s 2 clips of Brisbane from the same game v Port Adelaide and then 1 clip of Collingwood the very next day v Fremantle. All 3 clips...

I’ve posted numerous clips showing how Collingwood go about their lane running during transition offense and it’s a big part of how they manage to get so many good looks at goal even though they have rarely have more inside 50’s then their opposition. Over in AFLW, Melbourne and North Melbourne have been using it...

The point of game analysis is to find patterns of play that occur over multiple games that then allow you to see how your team plays in relation to them, as well as how opposing teams do as well. As stated last week I’ve been able to pinpoint almost a dozen patterns of play that...

I just found these in my training activities file from the Swans 2022 pre-season. The first 2 are for your forwards to get into the habit of doing their work prior to leading for the ball to create space for them to mark and the kicker to be able get the ball to them to...

The first clip shows Geelong’s kick out team defense formation which is nothing ground braking but it does show the discipline players need within it to give what you’re prepared to give and take away what you want to take away, and any deviation from that from just 1 player can break the entire system...

It’s always a treat watching North Melbourne AFLW as they move the ball the best of anyone in the competition every year in my opinion. The make the ground wide, they make the ground long and they spread the defense which gives them relatively easy and open teammates to kick to which doesn’t require huge...

In the last few seasons Carlton has been below average in there game plan defensively and offensively. From what I could see, and I watched every game, they would apply low pressure around the ball resulting in having to defend and initiate their offense from right back in their defensive 50, and then try and...
